Lancashire Road Safety Partnership’s Rhiannon Leeds said: “We are delighted to see a significant decrease in the number of motorists detected exceeding the speed limit following the installation of the London Road Average Speed system last year.

“There is a large volume of traffic that uses this route and almost 100% of motorists are obeying the speed limit. We’d like to thank the motorists who have helped to make London Road safer for all road users and residents in that area.”
